Tired of struggling with food, eating and yo-yo dieting?

Do any of the following ring true for you?
- You’re constantly hyper-aware of how you look and how your clothes fit.
- You try to play it like you’re cool, calm and confident…when deep down inside, you’re not.
- You’ve tried every diet known to women and don’t know what to do next.
- But it isn’t just about the weight anymore—it’s about finding some damn peace inside your head.
- At the same time, you really don’t get what it means to “listen to your body” and “feeling your feelings.”
- You’re smart—and you know that food isn’t the answer. But you still can’t stop overeating or binging on {insert whatever food here}. (Believe me, I know. Nutella and bread used to be my own personal go-to binge food even though I knew it wouldn’t solve anything)
- Maybe you’re convinced that once you’re a certain weight, the rest will fall into place.
- You probably struggle with setting boundaries and saying no, too.
- And you give. Oh do you give. SO much. To anyone who needs something. Anytime they need it. Including that crazy ass coworker of yours, whom you don’t even like. Go figure.
It pretty much sucks, doesn’t it?
I know first hand.
I’m Christie Inge, and at my highest weight, I was 220lbs of miserable. After years of struggling in the binge and diet cycle, I found intuitive eating and was finally (finally!) able to change my body, my mind and my life. It took lots of work. And I know how challenging it can be.
You want to trust your body but don’t really know where to start.
You know that dieting and deprivation aren’t the answer but aren’t sure what the right answers are.
And with the internet and a bazillion books coupled with the crazy media, it can be hard to navigate the waters of what is right for you.
We’re taught to believe that we have to follow a rigid set of rules.
I say screw the rules.
I don’t believe that approach works because it takes you outside of your body and what really works is to get back in touch with your body.
Introducing Intuitive Eating
As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Certified Weight Coach, and as someone who has been there and one that, I believe that starting with the basics is essential.
And learning those basics will guide you to exactly where you need to go. This means starting with some foundational principles of intuitive eating.
Here are some ways to help you do this:
- Eat When You Are Hungry, Stop When You’ve Had Enough – Your hunger signals are the only portion control you need (no, really). If you need guidance on your hunger signals, check out these posts on how to eat when hungry and how to stop eating when full.
- Listen to Your Body – For someone who has been dieting for years, this can be a complete foreign concept. And maybe you want to stab out the eyes of anyone else who says that to you. But, I’ve boiled it down for you in this post called how to listen to your body.
- Intuitive Eating Resources – My philosophy of intuitive eating is influenced by a number of remarkable people and principles. I don’t believe that any one theory or way of thinking can work for everyone. That is why I focus on meeting my clients where they are and helping them to find what works for them. I have compiled a list of recommended resources that may be valuable to you. Check it out here.
Ultimately, if you’re sick of dieting and ready to make lasting peace with food, intuitive eating can help.
